There are tons of great applications out there that can improve your PC experience and a huge amount of them are free. The Tom's Guide team has managed to narrow their favorite free apps down to under 50 in today's '45 Free and Useful Windows Applications.'

"There are hundreds of software developers and publishers who willingly make their work available for free. Some of them are complementary programs offered with paid products or services. Others are reincarnated free versions of formerly commercial software. In many cases, freeware providers just want to make a meaningful contribution, without any expectation of compensation or financial reward.Here are 45 different free applications, programs, and utilities for Windows. We hope you find them as useful as we do! 45 Free and Useful Windows Applications

    "WinRAR"
    "AVG"
    What is this? 2008? Get with the times. WinRAR is succeeded by 7zip. AVG sucks now.

    "Google Chrome"
    Uninstalled, possibly permanently. Use Comodo Dragon or Chromium if you want a webkit browser.
